Is anyone out there from the U.K. or Australia? Ian Thomas (AS01) Performance Contracting Engineer >> Hi Ian, I'm in Bridgwater, Somerset, U.K. My THOMAS family is from Wales. My grandmother was Mary Catherine THOMAS, born 8th August 1904 in Swansea. Her father was Stephen or Steven THOMAS. She appears to have a lot of younger brothers and a sister - Dick, Aiden, Will, Reggie, Stephen (or Steven), Maggie and another brother. This is all I know at the moment, because I've not been doing this for long and have been concentrating on my grandfathers family (PALK). Cathy.
